Transform Potential
into large scale impact
At Strategy and Scale, we work with you to scale impact, to realize the potential of your most promising programs, projects and innovations. To translate possibilities and potential into large scale impact start with not-knowing. No “seen it all before” no 'cookie-cutter' solutions. How things truly are is visible for the eye of one who stops and sees without preconception. Be with those who do the work, who participate in the program, who adopt the new product. Listen to their stories. There is a voice that doesn’t use words; observe the bodies, watch the actions; they reveal and show what's hidden. The opportunities have been there all along The obstacles come from staying within the walls; once built for greatness, now they serve as a cocoon whose butterfly never emerges.

Dr. Richard Kohl knows that trust is built from experience on the ground. Safety creates the foundations for courage to act, to let go of the old and try the new. Innovations were born with wings to achieve majesty, not to crawl. Be drawn by the pull of possibility. When we transform potential into results, we can achieve great things.
